Pretty in Pink
With preparations for a garage sale Friday and Saturday, I haven't had much time in the sewing room.
(I'm wondering now if we'll make enough money to pay for the ad, signs, and stickers! I keep telling myself the effort is worth it just because it is less stuff I will have to go through and pack if/when we are eventually able to move.)
Anyway, I made a special effort to get a pink Scrap Jar Star made while watching The Voice Monday night.

When Saturday rolls around I'll update my RSC progress with Angela at soscrappy. But I'm posting now so I won't forget ...
Wishing you a very successful garage sale. Your pink star turned out beautifully. Hope you get in a bit of stitching time hear and there this week.
ReplyDeleteThat pink star is luscious! Not having to match all those seams is exactly why I decided to go ahead and add the sashing! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your garage sale! I agree with you about the sashing and not having to match the blocks. If you want a light sashing, how about a small multi-color polka dot on a white ground?
ReplyDeleteWow!! I only just got my ORANGE blocks done and here you have PINK done already? Guess I better get off the computer and head up to the sewing room!!
ReplyDeleteLibby, I think you've been hit by spammers! (Unless you read Arabic.) Hope your garage sale is a success. Enjoy the cleared-out space. And, yeah, you KNOW I like those SJSs!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty block. How big are the little squares in the middle?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your garage sale will be successful - as you said, no matter what, there will be fewer things and you will have more space in your house. I always schedule a trip to a donation center after a garage sale so the stuff that is left over doesn't come back in! Pretty pink star.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the garage sale!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing all those SJ stars together. Hopefully you'll get lots of sewing time in the near future!
Your pinks are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope your sale goes well - I love a good clear out myself and it will definitely make a move easier to manage. Your star is so pretty - and you seem to have amassed a good number very fast; sashing is a good way to add a wee bit of size.
ReplyDeleteHope the sale went well. More money for fabric, right? Can't wait to see your Scrap Jar blocks. Have a fun week!.
ReplyDeleteyou are so right, garage sales are alot of work. But you are also helping someone else find just the right treasure. I love you so pretty pink block. Sweetness overload.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress. I love the way the SJS blocks look with cornerstones that give a nine patch look in each corner. Hope you were able to get rid of some stuff in the garage sale. Always great motivation for clearing out
ReplyDeleteLove your SJS! I hope you do/did well with the yard sale. We have been planning to do one for a couple months but my brother (whose stuff is the main focus) can't seem to get his act together. Maybe next spring.
ReplyDeleteScrappy sashing could be perfect. Hope the garage sale is worth the effort. I always end up just donating the stuff I need to get rid of. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGrand Illusion is so beautiful, Libby. And I'm a real fan of pink so this block is beautiful to me as well. Garage sales are great to get a big clean out and hopefully a little change in your pocket as well. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the garage sale! I've never had one but been to lots of them.
ReplyDeleteA Scrap Jar Star quilt always looks good with or without sashing. I never thought of it as a way to avoid matching points but will in the future!
